Last night Frank Gore picks up a fumble and runs it in for a TD. Everyone in my league says I should get credit for that but the commish didn't check the box to allow. I lose by 1 point and am in a game for third or fourth instead of the championship game. What do you think?

Not giving Gore a rushing TD is about the dumbest logic imaginable. He scored a TD after running the ball in. That's a rushing TD. This isn't hard. Anyone trying to wrangle out under "letter of the law" is a complete and total loser who I wouldn't play fantasy football with any longer. After I punched them out.

If Hali picks up a fumble and runs it in, he's credited with a def player TD no? So how is this different?

In the second part of your post (where you're correct), you dispute the first part. It wasn't a rushing TD, it was a fumble recovered for a TD. If a league is set up to reward offensive fumble recoveries you get it, if it isn't you don't....should be fairly simple to see.

FWIW, I do have Gore in one league that doesn't reward fumble recoveries and lost......there's no reason to bitch about it though. Scoring settings were set before the season began.

I remember a few years ago when a team faked a FG kick and the kicker ran it in for a td.He was credited with 6 pts. at least in our leagues.

So what you're saying here is essentially that a kicker had a rushing attempt. He would have gotten the rushing yards for that as well. You're comparing apples to airplanes.

In the first one you mentioned it's also cut and dried, and should count if your league says ALL TDs. What many here are saying though is that it should count as a RUSHING TD and that's simply not the case.

I'm going to make an assumption here that most of the leagues we're talking of are using ESPN (I haven't used Yahoo or CBS for some time so I can't speak to those). As Hootie pointed out earlier there ARE scoring settings that do allow for fumble TDs. If a league is set up to allow those the points would be awarded.
What many of you are advocating is changing scoring settings that were set prior to the season.

This whole matter is silly. Gore scored a TD. It doesn't matter one iota if it was on a fumbled exhange or on a good exchange - HE. SCORED. A. TOUCH. DOWN. If Charles fumbles and Bowe picks it up and runs it in for TD would that not count also?

Now, if we are talking about rushing yards.....I can see both sides. If somebody wants to quibble about "the letter of the law" (Only dweebs use such copouts like this phrase), it's possible Gore didn't officially RUSH the ball in. And hence loses out on the 5 yards or whatever in rushing. That makes some sense although I'd still give it to him. But the TD? Not even debateable in my book.
